When he saw the menrushing toward him he called to themto stop. He least suspected that twoof them w"ere officers, for they hadtheir coats off and were loungingaround on the curbstone. Their ap-pearance led Mr. Mills to believe thathe was about to be attacked by a gangof cutthroats. He had nothing to protect himself with save- a little oldbroken knife that would be harmlessto a three-year-old boy. On they camerushing upon the man alreadystridden, and now before he can arrange to bury his dead wife he mustbe possibly murdered himself. Buthe kept cool.

The Colored Department of the Tennessee School forthe Blind located in South Nashvilleon Tennessee street, is an example ofthe care the thoueht and the affections with which the state, through itsofficers, is looking after these children.Not much attention, however, is paiduy rne parents oi sue a cmiaren, anaespecially has it been noted that fewof them are interested in those seeminsly neglected ones that nature hastied to them by family connections.The colored department of this schoolhas been established for more than aquarter of a century. In fact, Mrs. S.M. Lowe, the present principal, hasbeen at work in this department fortwenty-seven years. She has travelledextensively. Hardly a summer passesbut that she spends it or a part of Itin different parts of the state, presumably for rest, yet it is not knownthat she ever ceased from her untiringlabors In the interest of these unfor-innate little ones. At present she isin the evtveme eastern portion of thestate looking for a little recreationand at the same time thinking and,M ?Ty e0crt ntschool.
